I would like to ask you - I have made windiff 3.6.19 and 3.6.21 and I have noted
several changes.

I can comment this piece of code if you really want to catch and fix 
a problem found:
    } else if (blocksize < 4096) {
        reiserfs_warning (stderr, "Block sizes smaller than 4k "
			  "are not supported.\n");
	return 0;
    }

I do not know why these block sizes has been disabled - stability? speed?
Overflowing block count?
   Anyway, nothing warned me when I have installed Slackware and build and mount 
riserfs disk of this kind.

  Jara
